On being an artist - Yona Lee
Wed 15 June, time tbc, Zoom

Joining us from the Netherlands, artist Yona Lee will share her thoughts and experiences on practicing as a professional artist. With a growing international reputation, her largest solo exhibition to date, An Arrangement for 5 Rooms, is currently on at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki. Developing a professional art practice involves commitment, strategy, organizational skills and relationship building. In this session we will hear from the perspective of an artist forging a national and international career.

Yona Lee is a New Zealand-Korean artist, born in 1986 in Busan, South Korea. She lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand, and completed her MFA at Auckland University Elam School of Fine Arts in 2010. Lee’s work has recently been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia (2018-2019); City Gallery, Wellington, New Zealand (2018-2019); and Dunedin Public Art Gallery, New Zealand (2020).
